Well the pulse rifle from Marauder gun runners. Possibly Resolute Duke (single pack) for a base. RoC desert ambush Duke for the helmet. That's where I'd start I think.

RoC Breaker or Stone's vest make a good base for the body armor, or you could maybe use the reactive armor figs with different lower arms and legs.

nice ideas. Only thing to keep me from making a Col.Marine would be my need to make all of them to be happy. I could see going a little nuts by the time I made it to Pvt. Wierzbowski.

Before anyting, get yourself a ton of reference pictures. All of the equipment the USCM uses is fashioned from REAL world equipment, which means that more then likely it's been made in joe form at some point. The only thing that isn't exactly made from real equipment is the uniforms/camo pattern as it was made for the film.
First, Pulse Rifle from Marauders. Second, M1 Steel pot helmet from SGT.SAVAGE line, this is what the USCM wear, although, it has various do-dads attached to it to make it seem "futuristic." Third, I feel like the armor from the Resolute CP Storm Shadow would work great for the base of the armor the USCM used. That or the RoC Flash vest. Fourth, leg wise, the USCM in the film had jungle boots (vibram heel) on, Ft.Falcon's figure as well as a number of others have these boots. Right now is an excellent time to find reference images because there are a ton of re-enactor/cos-players and there are two video games coming out that feature the USCM. If you need help identifying equipment on the images I can certainly help. Check these sites out: United States Colonial Marine Corps Good link for the armor: United States Colonial Marine Corps As you can see it looks nothing like RoC breaker/stone's armor. 1/6th line: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...rman/USCM2.jpg Shot from another Tanker: http://media.photobucket.com/image/U...ow135/uscm.jpg Hope that helps.

The Zartan Roc head might make a good Drake.
Resolute duke or Crimson guard fred head might work for Lt Gorman. Any female head with the Sro Wild Bill helmet will make a good Ferro (the Pilot) 25th dvd Lady Jaye would make a good Ripley 25th Hawk head (single card) may make a good Hicks. With some epoxy, roadblock head would make a good Apone. |
